Descripción
Hello, we are two gay men.
Paul (55 years old) & Pierre-Yves (52 years old)
We are horticulturalists.
Gay guys are welcome.
Paul is native origionally from Paris, Pierre-Yves, from Lyon,
Here we speak mostly in french, we hope this is not an obstacle for you, we wil be glad to improuve your french.
Paul speak some English,
We live with one beautiful dog and a cat in a peaceful location rural France but near to shops and towns. Our house and barns, being contructed over 200 years ago, in local stone, the house is full of features and charm.
We are very sociable persons.
We live very quietly in the countryside, our life revolves mainly around the work that is done outdoors and in all weathers.
It is a real pleasure for us and we like to share it with people who appreciate the calm, .... far from the city!
Life at home is very simple, we have lunches and dinners together. we are happy that you share all meals during your stay.
We operate a plant nursery from home and this does not leave a lot of free time to work on the house and garden, therefore projects include gardening/weeding, land clearing .
We are openly homosexual so we are LGBT Friendly , and so it goes without saying, if you are homophobic you would be better finding another location.
At the heart of our property you will find a large and charming swimming pool. Far from the gaze of the neighbors, we appreciate doing naturism.
Wireless internet and more peace and quiet than you could shake a stick at!
Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
We will be happy to teach you French, our native language, to help you discover French culture.
We will teach you horticultural techniques and give advice for your plants. We will share with you our passion for flowers.

As mentioned, projects in which I require some help include gardening/weeding, land clearing.
Idiomas hablados

Alojamiento
Initially, we have for the volunteers a bedroom and private bathroom.
Our meals times are flexible. Paul is French and pride himself on his cooking skills. we hope that these pleasures may be share.
Paul is a vegetarian, so there is no meat in the meals he cook
Algo más...
The house is located close to the Bordeaux airport.We are between Perigueux station and Angouleme station, and transport can be arranged. The larger towns with all their attraction's are not far.In this area people largely very sociable, that said the setting in which the house is found really offers the choice of nice peace and quiet and/or the social experience from living and speaking, working/thinking in French . For your free time we lend you bikes.
Merci and we hope to speak to welcoming you à la maison soon,
Paul & Pierre-Yves.

Dav Is a patient boy and is interested in people. It has adapted to my atipic lifestyle. He is that I expect from a volunteer; He accepts work he has never done before. In addition to the work, he helps in the blotches, he never let down the vacuum cleaner ;-)

I cannot put into words what an amazing guy Paul is. He is multi-talented
(artistic, great cook, etc.) and a patient teacher of gardening and the
french language. It was also a pleasure bonding with his lovely dog,
Mascara. I will miss them both. Paul took me around to several places and
introduced me to a wide variety of friends that treated… read more

The little Simoné is great ...
Simoné is more than a voluntary helper, during his time with me he worked every day on the Christmas market in freezing weather
We shared great cultural moments, it is a very sensitive boy who loves art. We also laughed heartily. Simoné became a friend

I spent just over a week at Paul's place and had a wonderful stay. His house is very peaceful and quiet and it is a great place to get away and relax. Paul has a wonderful group of friends and staying with him offers a nice balance between socializing and having time to yourself. Paul is an excellent cook and it was nice to experience great… read more

His place is cozy, relaxing, and inspiring, filled with art, music, plants, flowers, and great great food!

when Matias asked me to come and help me, my place was not available but I accept his coming. I do not regrete
it is not only a funny and inteligent guy, he is a volunteer worker and countless hours
I saw Mathias again, for casual time, now my regret is that he wants to discover other places and Workaway hostes

I spent one month in Paul´s house, that was a perfect desition that I made (Paul and La Dordogne are AMAZING!). He has received me with his arms open, he is a nice and kind man. The work there was perfect for me since I love the nature. We also went out to drink and dance in Angoulême and we had a lot of moments for laughing (DAAAAAAAA). Last… read more

We really enjoyed our time with Paul. Most of the work was weeding plants in his nursery - which was exactly the sort of work we were looking for - outdoors and giving a great sense of accomplishment. Paul was a great host and introduced us to his lovely friends. The countryside is stunning and we learnt a lot about France that doesn't come in the… read more

Chez Paul is overflows with the important things in life- vibrant art and music, outstanding cuisine, carefully-selected wine, a dog called Mascara and a cat called Petite.

Steven is a friendly and funny guy, with whom, it transpired I had a lot of points in common especially on art, poetry, our love of the French language, and also for the sometimes frivolous aspects of French culture like Dalida(!)

J'ai passé un très bon moment chez Paul. Sa maison, , est formidable et pleine de caractère et de charme. Paul n'aime pas exiger au Workawayer ce qu'il faut faire, il préfère que tu sois inspiré par la tâche. Il me fournissait toujours de l'équipement approprié pour l'activité et me proposait la façon la plus efficace de la faire.

Paul is unbelievable! He works very hard and is an excellent cook. This was our first workaways experience and it was an excellent experience because of him. He felt like family to us and we were honored to meet some of his friends and visit a little of the countryside. Love this guy!
